Firefighters from the Buduburam Fire Station averted what could have been a major disaster after swiftly responding to a vehicle fire along the Accra–Cape Coast Highway in the early hours of Monday, October 6, 2025.
The incident occurred at Breku and involved a TATA bus with registration number GM 2889-14, which had reportedly been parked by the roadside for almost two weeks.
According to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the bus was already engulfed in flames when the team arrived at the scene.
Their quick intervention, however, prevented the fire from spreading and endangering other vehicles on the busy highway.
The firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control within a short time, ensuring the safety of road users and nearby residents. Although the bus was completely destroyed, no injuries or casualties were reported.
Investigations have since been launched to determine the exact cause of the fire.
The GNFS has commended the timely response of its Buduburam crew and urged vehicle owners to promptly remove abandoned vehicles from road shoulders to reduce potential fire hazards.
